The Ediacaran Period (/ iː. d i ˈ æ k. ə. r ə n / ee-dee-AK-ə-rən) is a geological period that spans 94 million years from the end of the Cryogenian Period 635 million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Cambrian Period 541 Mya.

Attention on the Neoproterozoic glaciations has further been focused by the use of their supposed global nature by the IUGS Terminal Neoproterozoic Subcommission, who placed the GSSP for the base of the newly defined Ediacaran System at the base of a "cap carbonate" overlying a diamictite of "Marinoan" age in Australia [7].

Ediacaran organisms appear after a series of ice ages that covered the Earth. Geologists have added a new period to their official calendar of Earth's history - the first in 120 years. The Ediacaran Period covers some 50 million years of ancient time on our planet from 600 million years ago to about 542 million years ago.

For ages, life on Earth and its origin has been a big fascination for mankind. The ancestry of most animals can be traced back to 541 million years ago – when an event called the Cambrian Explosion abruptly birthed a myriad of familiar creatures in the sea.

The period of the Earth's history that begins 2,5 billion years ago and ends 542 million years ago is known as the Proterozoic. The name Proterozoic comes from Greek and means earlier life.

It was only in the 20 th century that large, complex fossils were identified from what is now named the Ediacaran period, the last interval of the Proterozoic Eon. However, the Ediacaran biota has presented some surprises. Many Ediacaran fossils are unlike any animals alive today and they appear with a bang, 30 million years before the 'Cambrian explosion'.
